        Verdict

        Penang Cinta, Nightspot and Oldrik look the main protagonists in this tight handicap and the vote is given to Penang Cinta. The selection has won his last two races in good style and although rising in the weights he won with plenty in hand when beating Wild Fell Hall last time and he is taken to win again. Nightspot rates the main danger as he also won well last time when beating Trans Sonic, he will not mind any rain and will not be far away. Oldrick is unexposed and is worth a cautionary look in the market but the suspicion is he may need the run after a 408 day absence. Of the remainder Uig is well weighted on her best form but is hard to win with and for the winner we return to Penang Cinta.
